.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 130 AM EDT Thursday...
VFR conditions across area terminals to begin the 06z/4 TAF
period are expected for the next 24 hours. Some very patchy
early morning stratus is possible Thursday morning. Otherwise,
VFR expected through much of Independence Day with SCT-BKN late
morning to aftn CU with bases of 4-6kft and a SSW wind of
8-12kt. A few showers/tstms could drift into RIC after 20-21z
and closer to 00z at SBY.
Any showers/tstms should dissipate later Thursday evening.
There is a potential for early morning shallow ground fog/low
stratus Friday through Sunday mornings with increased low-level
moisture. This will also lead to a chc for aftn/evening
showers/tstms, as a slow moving boundary approaches from the NW
through Friday. The front is expected to stall and gradually
weakens as it crosses into the region over the weekend into
Monday.
